Wannan tattunawa ta zama daɗaɗɗiya. Yi sabuwar tambaya idan ka na bukatar taimako.

I have an entire folder (and sub-folders) of e-mails that got zapped away. If I search for the e-mails, they appear in the search, but are no where to be found.

I saw on one forum where executing a check disk may re-index the folders, but I'm not sure if that is the problem I have, nor how to execute a check disk. Thanks for any help available!
